Another idea for keeping raccoons out of your green bin
I have read the letter “Keeping Raccoons Out” in the November issue.
What I do to make sure they do not get into my green bin is that I freeze the food which is usually meat products and then I put the frozen bag out with the green bin the night before.
Freezing the food makes sure there are no odours emanating from the food. This way, the raccoons smell nothing and so leave the green bin alone.
I compost most of my veggies and fruit remains. Anything that does not go in the compost gets frozen in a bag in the freezer until green bin night.
I understand that many people do not compost and may have a lot of food leftovers but if they have room in their freezer, this is an excellent idea.
Maybe you shall decide to print this information.
